Roger retired as the owner of Great Plains Contractors, where he worked for many years with his wife, Joyce. Roger was a Korean War veteran and was proud to fly his American flags. Roger enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid sportsman who loved to camp, boat, water ski, hunt and fish. He also appreciated music, and in his retirement, had re-started playing the violin. He loved his family and his many dogs over the years. We all cherished spending summers water skiing at the lake with family and friends and the many trips to Beaver Lake.
